A universal, relatable story about the families we were born into and the ones we create. Growing up in an authentic 1970s Italian American household, Frankie Scordato comically wrestles with sexuality, faith and approval. We follow his coming-of-age story through some of the most historic and tumultuous times for the LGBTQ community. And ultimately, as Frankie reaches the milestone of fifty, he is forced to reconcile with the past and confront the question of his (and our) place in an ever-changing world.

With a rich score that evokes the decades as they pass, Fixing Frankie introduces us to endearing and identifiable characters who reveal how families can shape us and how friendships can save us.
